A 52-year-old man has been accused of snapping photographs beneath the skirt of unwitting women at a WalMart in northwest Harris County.

Gabriel Rios is charged with improper photography or visual recording device after the incident about 6:50 p.m. Sunday at the store on FM 1960 near Eldridge, said Deputy Thomas Gilliland, a spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Gilliland said Rios allegedly attached a small camera to his shoe, slid it along the floor beneath women's skirts as he stood close to them and snapped images.

Gilliland said one of the women alerted store staff about Rios. Staff questioned and detained him and then called deputies to the store.
